The School of NursingBack to topThe University of Pennsylvania is the only Ivy League institution offering a baccalaureate nursing program that begins day one, a master's program in nursing, and doctoral nursing study. Penn Nursing is consistently ranked among the nation's top undergraduate and graduate schools of nursing. Nursing students have unparalleled opportunities for clinical experience at the world-renowned University of Pennsylvania Health System, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Children's Seashore House, Philadelphia VA Medical Center, the Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Philadelphia and over 150 other clinical agencies in Philadelphia and the tri-state area.
Nursing students are taught and mentored by nationally and internationally recognized faculty known for their leadership in education, practice, and research. Undergraduate and graduate students often take advantage of the opportunity to participate in faculty research. 
Bachelor's DegreeBack to topThe School of Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree with a program that balances the liberal arts, science and professional nursing preparation. Special opportunities include study abroad, joint degrees, minors and submatriculation into a master's in nursing degree or Penn's School of Law. Admission requirements include 4 years of science and math; SATs, 3 SATIIs and/or ACTs; and being in the top 10 percent of your senior class. Students may transfer to Penn Nursing after completing one year of advanced study at another institution. Transfer applicants must have completed a minimum of eight transferable college courses, including at least one laboratory science course and a minimum 3.0 GPA. Accelerated BSN/Second Degree and BSN/MSN Direct Entry ProgramsBack to topThe School of Nursing offers two accelerated options for students with a baccalaureate degree in a non-nursing field. The BSN Second Degree option is for the student that is exclusively interested in attaining their BSN but is not sure or not interested in a Master's Specialty at this time. The BSN/MSN option is designed for the student that is interested in attaining their MSN and knows what specialty they would like to pursue, enabling the student to complete both degrees. Previous college and university courses are evaluated for transfer credit. Admission requirements include a minimum GPA of 3.0 and standardized testing scores. Second degree candidates must submit SATs, ACTs or GREs. BSN/MSN candidates must submit GRE scores.
Master's DegreesBack to topThe School of Nursing offers the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree in a wide range of opportunities:
Post-Master's Teacher Education ProgramBack to topThe School of Nursing recognizes the evolving nature of health care and the desire of many nurses to expand or alter current roles and responsibilities. It is possible to pursue post-master's work, designed for those with a MSN and interested in either extending their knowledge and skill in their current area or changing to a new area of practice such as the Post-Master's Teacher Education Program. The Post-Masters Teacher Education Program has been developed to meet the needs of nurses and midwives who have not had the opportunity to participate in a formal program of teacher preparation. This program incorporates on and off campus activities under a mentor teacher. Once enrolled as a master's candidate, students are eligible to add a sequence of courses in developed minors to enhance master's curriculum. Doctoral ProgramBack to topThe mission of the doctoral program of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing is to prepare nurse scientists for successful careers, particularly in research-intensive environments. Our graduates will take responsibility to shape and advance health care, with the ultimate goal of improving the public's health through the integration of theory, research and practice. Joint programs include: PhD in Nursing/Master's in Bioethics, MS/PhD or a combined MSN/PhD with any of our MSN programs.
